Put green to use on green energy
It’s good to hear that David Anderson of NW Natural is looking to the future. Too bad he is just focused on his company’s future profits. No one wants to see his customers (me included) freeze. We just want his company to stop trying to add more gas-dependent customers by building more pipelines.
NW Natural shouldn’t act like all those buggy-whip manufacturers that ignored the future and went out of business. It should think like the ones who innovated and stayed in business.
As Anderson knows, climate change is real, and responding to it is inevitable and urgent. Natural gas is not a bridge to the future. NNG Financial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of NW Natural, should take those pipeline dollars and spend them now on investment in true green energy while it can make a difference.
